¶ And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, • when
he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him

saluted him. And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them? • And, behold, • there came to him
